THE CONTRACT APPROVED.

The Board of Finance Approves the
 Contract Drawn Up by Ex-Governor
 Insersoll to Bind the Sale of the
 Derby-Ehe Mayor Has Not Net Sign-
 ed, but VIII Soon-Mr. Starbuck in
 Town With a Certified Check for
 $275,OOO.
 The finance committee held the last of their private executive sessions on the Derby last night. Reporters were excluded, and at 8 o'clock the Mayor rapped the meeting to order
 Millionaire William H. Starbuck, accom- panied by Colonel William H. Stevenson and Attorney Cromwell, his legal adviser, ar rived in the city yesterday and were in con- sultation with Mayor York for some time. It was expected that the Mayor would sign the contract last evening, but as will be later shown he did not. Colonel Stevenson visit ed the City Hall while the meeting was in progress, and apparently anxiously awaited the summons from the Mayors office, which did not come, telling him that MT. Starbuck would finally be the owner of the city's in terest in the Derby as soon as he had handed over the certified check for $275, 1000.
 At 9:30 the meeting broke up. It was learned after difficulty that nothing had been done by the board except the ap- proving of the contract drawn by ex-Gove1nor IngersoIl. A type writer copy of the contract was the one sub mitted to the board. There were a few minor word changes made and the board then ap- proved of it unanimously. Mayor York then put the contract into his pocket and said he guessed he'd take the next car home. And he did. The meeting then broke up.
 He was asked whether or no he had signed the contract and he replied in the negative. Queries as to whether he intended signing to- day were evaded.
 It was learned from other sources that the reason the Mayor didn't sign last evening was that the contract had been copied in it's crude form and that he intended to wait for an en- grossed copy and he could then sign at his leisure, as it is not necessary that the matter should come before the board of finance again.
 Mr. Starbuck came to New Haven with a check for $275, ,000 in his pocket, prepared to turn it over to the city for possession of the road.

More EvIctions in Ireland.

DUBLIN, July 18.-The evictions at Cool groney were resumed to-day. Many spectator. were present, including Mir. Dillon, John and William Redmond, MT. Crilly, Michael Davitt, Alderman Brennan of Providence, R. T., and Roger Forster of New York. Twenty police men and military force assisted in the evic- ton of several tenants. All the evictions were accomplished quietly. Subsequently a meeting was held at which MT. Dillon con- graduated the tenants upon the fact that they had the backing of the whole national organization and the support of all civilized Irishmen and obedience to MT. Parnell and the Irish parliamentary party. He promised that America would send the sinews of war as long as the struggle in Ireland continued and until victory was achieved.

WEAK WORK IN THE BOX

Loses Another Game For the New | Havens-'rayIor All Hut Batted Out | of His POs1tfOn-Gruber Probably Going to New York-Notes of the | Game.
 Sixteen clean hits, four bases on balls, three | wild pitches and two men hit by pitched balls is not record for any professional pitcher to be proud of, but such was the rec ord made by Taylor in yesterdays game with Danbury. With such pitching it could not be expected that the home team would win the game and Danbury added another to their list of victories It is fast becoming
 plain, if not to the management of the New
 Ravens at least to the patrons of the game,
 that Taylor is about superannuated as a ball
 player. He did not make hit yesterday,
 and every time he hit the ball he trotted leisurely toward first, never supposing for an instant that there was chance of the oppos- ing players making an error. In this respect most of the New Haven players are faithful imitators; they never try to reach first except on base hits. A few solid fines might wake them up to the fact that they are hired to play ball, and they should be made to play ball for all the chances that the game affords The carelessness they exhibit in this respect has caused many @ remark more emphatic than polite from the disgusted spectators.
 Aside from the pitching of Taylor the game was well contested, there being several bril- liant plays on both sides. A young amateur named McGuinness played third base for the New Ravens and did fairly we'll in the field, accepting three chances out of four. His er- TOT was @ wide throw to Phalon at first on a well stopped ball, due probably to a natural nervousness on his first experience with pro- fessionals. He made pretty running catch of 8 foul fly which gained him hearty ap- plause. He was unfortunate at the bat, how ever, striking out three times and going out once on an easy fly to Cornell. Halpin, Troy and Phalon played strongly for the New Ravens, and Burns and Mellon did some especially good fielding. Crowley had batted well. Murphy again caught splendidly. Phalon made three clean hits, and Troy Crowley and Halpin did we'll at the bat. For the Danburys Manager Donnelly, who played at first base, batted hard, getting two singles, three bagger and phantom. Briggs. too, had his batting clothes on, but he made wild throw to Donnelly which allowed three men to cross the plate. Cornell played splendidly at the bat and in the field, and the left field work of Manlove was of the very best. It was we'll earned victory for the Danburys, who gave the big Taylor an other dose of the medicine he has been get ting all around of late. Jackson Brady um- pired and his decisions gave entire satisfac- tion.
 Following is the score of the game:

HIS RIDE TO DEATH.
A Quarryman's FrightfuI Plunge
 moxHn a ,I.ramWaY I'm ROxburY.

A Quarrymanss Frightful Plunge Down a Tramway I'm ROxbury. BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, July 18.-From a quarry at Mine Hill, in the town of Rox-
 bury, near the home of William H. Bar mum, all the granite for the piers of the new bridge over the Harlem river below High Bridge is taken. An accident occurred at the quarry Friday resulting in the in- stant death of 8 quarryman. The stone is borne from the quarry down an inclined plane to the place of shipment on gravity tramway by means of fiat cars moved by 8 cable. It is so arranged that at the same moment 8 loaded car is descending an empty car is going up, the two balancing each other. A single workman attempted to handle the car instead of half dozen, as is usually the case. He pushed the loaded car along the level and started it down the incline, unfor- tunately without attaching the cable. His fellow workmen saw what he was doing and called to him to save himself, but it was too late. The car thundered along the steep of fine hundred feet and reaching the land ing jumped twenty feet into the air and de- scending with it's freight of several tons was smashed into fragments, killing outright the man in attendance,

The Masonic Controversy.

The interest attaching to the Hiram lodge controversy with the Grand lodge continues unabated and among the Masonic fraternity of the city is on the increase owing to the secession of all the other Masonic bodies from the Masonic Temple and the hiring by them of separate quarters in the Clark building on Church street. About a dozen prominent Masons yesterday not in sympathy with Hiram on being interrogated expressed them selves as not wishing to enter into any public controversy in the matter under dispute, as such 8 course they deemed un-Masonic and inimical to the true interests of Masonry. Hiram, on the other hand, expresses conf dence that the outcome of the controversy will be vindication of it's position.

Thirsty Knights
 WASHINGTON, July 18.-The Commissioner of Patents has rendered an important deci- sion in the case of an aplication to register 8 trade mark for distilled spirits in which the words |" Knights of Labor and '' Kot's dis tillery" appear The commissioner states that there is no pretense that the manufacturers of this particular brand of whiskey who seek to register the trade mark ara Knights of Labor or are engaged in business with them or under their auspice, yet the distinctive mark points to this labor organization or to the members as class as the origin of the ownership of the article to which 1t IS applied. In other words, the proposed trade mark is | in the nature of false representation and deception as to the public, possibly introdue l them to purchase an article under the belief that it is manufactured by society in which I they have 8 friendly interest. The commits siouers, therefore, on the ground of the false pretense of such trade msrk, refuse It's reg isteration.
